		<description><![CDATA[There is additional analysis of the situation that I first mentioned in this post. The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is of the opinion that the Obama Administration&#8217;s Department of Justice is worse than that of Bush. Here is an excerpt from the EFF&#8217;s take on the situation: Previously, the Bush Administration has argued that the U.S. possesses &#8220;sovereign immunity&#8221; from suit for conducting electronic surveillance that violates the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). However, FISA is only one of several laws that restrict the government&#8217;s ability to wiretap. The Obama Administration goes two steps further than Bush did, and claims that the US PATRIOT Act also renders the U.S. immune from suit under the two remaining key federal surveillance laws: the Wiretap Act and the Stored Communications Act. Essentially, the Obama Adminstration has claimed that the government cannot be held accountable for illegal surveillance under any federal statutes. Again, the gulf between Candidate Obama and President Obama is striking. As a candidate, Obama ran promising a new era of government transparency and accountability, an end to the Bush DOJ&#8217;s radical theories of executive power, and reform of the PATRIOT Act. But, this week, Obama&#8217;s own Department Of Justice has argued [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Please read this analysis on Salon. I hope that the administration responds and clarifies some of their language if the analysis does not reflect their intent. http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2009/04/06/obama/index.html: Every defining attribute of Bush&#8217;s radical secrecy powers &#8212; every one &#8212; is found here, and in exactly the same tone and with the exact same mindset. Thus: how the U.S. government eavesdrops on its citizens is too secret to allow a court to determine its legality. We must just blindly accept the claims from the President&#8217;s DNI that we will all be endangered if we allow courts to determine the legality of the President&#8217;s actions. Even confirming or denying already publicly known facts &#8212; such as the involvement of the telecoms and the massive data-mining programs &#8212; would be too damaging to national security. Why? Because the DNI says so. It is not merely specific documents, but entire lawsuits, that must be dismissed in advance as soon as the privilege is asserted because &#8220;its very subject matter would inherently risk or require the disclosure of state secrets.&#8221;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ArsTechnica: Cell phone unlocking legal (for three years) Every three years, the Copyright Office develops a list of approved exemptions to the DMCA&#8217;s anti-circumvention protections. This is the third time through the process, and the government has approved the largest number of exemptions to date—though they&#8217;re still incredibly narrow. Exemptions are allowed for 1) the educational library of a university&#8217;s media studies department, in order to watch film clips in class; 2) using computer software that requires the original disks or hardware in order to run; 3) dongle-protected computer programs, if the the dongle no longer functions and a replacement cannot be found; 4) protected e-books, in order to use screen-reader software; 5) cell phone firmware that ties a phone to a specific wireless network; and 6) DRM software included on audio CDs, but only when such software creates security vulnerabilities on personal computers.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are many versions of this video on Youtube. I linked to the one that has the full version of the story. Look at the graphic under the image of Mark Foley and you will see that he is labeled D-FL. Mark Foley is not a Democrat. As far as I am aware at this moment neither FOX News or the O&#8217;Reilly factor appologized or even admitted to the error. It could be an honest mistake, but it really seems a little fishy when there is no acknowledgement. John Stewart has also commented on this. I will try to find that clip and post it as well. In this video the incorrect graphic shows up twice. Once around 58 seconds into it, and again at around 2:38. It is also the same photo both times.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Note to the American people, the words liberal and conservative are useless. These words are thrown around instead of intelligently debating the issues at hand. We need to express exactly what actions a government official has taken that we feel are clearly wrong, or what a news personality said that we feel distorts the facts. Why do I feel it is so important that we have more intelligent discourse and stop bickering using words that are too general to be of use? Some very scary things have been happening in the United States. I am not going to point fingers because it would obscure my point and invite useless partisan phrase-throwing. Right now I do not care who&#8217;s fault it is, I just want to see some action from our government that reassures me that they are serious about protecting what makes our country great. September 11th, 2001 was a horrible day that will live in infamy. Al Qaeda perpetrated a series of horrific attacks against our nation. Note that I said Al Qaeda and not terrorists. We need to be very precise with our language as to not over-generalize. The people of this nation stood together after the attacks. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had downloaded the Discussion Draft of the National Surveillance Act of 2006 from a link in an article in Wired. The link pointed to one of Wired&#8217;s servers. I trust Wired as a news source; however, wished to get my hands on the primary document directly from the government. I downloaded this version of the National Security Surveillance act of 2006 from the GPO. The link to the download was on this page of THOMAS. There were differences between the documents, and I mistakenly thought that the Discussion Draft was an older version of the document. Later on I found the following from this page on THOMAS: 9/13/2006 Committee on the Judiciary. Reported by Senator Specter with an amendment in the nature of a substitute. Without written report. This leads me to believe that the Discussion Draft was submitted as an ammendement with the purpose of replacing the previous version. I wanted to compare the two documents to see what had changed. I worked for a few hours comparing the two. The largest problem was that the Discussion Draft has digital rights management that disallows copying. I would have to type out text in full from it. The version [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wired News: NSA Bill Performs a Patriot Act A bill radically redefining and expanding the government&#8217;s ability to eavesdrop and search the houses of U.S. citizens without court approval passed a key Senate committee Wednesday, and may be voted on by the full Senate as early as next week. By a 10-8 vote, the Senate Judiciary Committee approved SB2453, the National Security Surveillance Act (.pdf), which was co-written by committee&#8217;s chairman Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pennsylvania) in concert with the White House. Privacy, and national security have been great concerns of mine as of late. Despite Wired being a respected news source, I wanted to find the text of the bill from an official government source. S.2453 National Security Surveillance Act of 2006 (Introduced in Senate). From that page I clicked on GPO&#8217;s PDF Display to download the following PDF copy that I have uploaded to this server: National Security Surveillance act of 2006. I recommend going to the official site and downloading the document directly from the GPO. I have not modified it; however, it is always best to be cautious. There were some differences in wording between the copy from Wired and the one on Thomas. The Wired version [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Kansas City Star &#124; 08/27/2006 &#124; Hot fuel for you, cold cash for big oil: As a liquid, gasoline expands and contracts depending on temperature. At the 60-degree standard, the 231-cubic-inch American gallon puts out a certain amount of energy. But that same amount of gas expands to more than 235 cubic inches at 90 degrees, even though consumers still only get 231 cubic inches at the pump. Put simply, every degree over the 60-degree standard diminishes the energy a 231-cubic-inch gallon delivers to the nation’s fleet of cars, trucks, boats, buses and heavy equipment — and forces drivers to consume more and pay more for fuel. The industry made changes in Canada to use temperature-compensated pumps. That is because in Canada consumers were on the better end of the deal. In the United States gas is usually several degrees above the 60 degree standard. This is costing consumers more money and fattening the wallets of the oil companies. It gets a little tricky in that Canada passed a law making it voluntary for retailers to use temperature-compensation. The retailers obviously jumped on the bandwagon. In the United States a similar law would not work as retailers with temperature-compensated pumps [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is old news. The only reason that I am posting it is because it has to do with the contractor who is handling the improperly programmed People First Employment Portal. Offshore outsourcing cited in Florida data leak Employees who worked for the state during the 18-month period between Jan. 1, 2003, and June 30, 2004, may be affected, according to an e-mail message sent to all state employees on March 16. The state&#8217;s Department of Management Services (DMS), which oversees the People First system, estimates that 108,000 current and former state employees may be affected by the data breach, although that estimate could change as the department&#8217;s investigation into the matter continues. The e-mail was sent after a subcontractor of outsourcing service provider Convergys Corp. improperly allowed subcontractors in India to index state personnel files, said DMS spokeswoman Tiffany Koenigkramer. The offshoring was done as part of Convergys&#8217;s nine-year, $350 million contract to manage the state&#8217;s personnel work. This looks not to be Convergys Corp&#8217;s fault. The simple to remedy problem with the People First Portal; however, is their fault. I emailed them to no avail.]]></description>
